HPLIP

Unable to install hplip module in Ubuntu 15.04

Asked by Mark Dickie

When I try to add my printer using hp-setup I get the error message "The printer you are trying to setup requires a binary driver plug-in and it failed to install.". If I manually download and run hplip-3.15.2-plugin.run then I get the following.

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Error importing HPLIP modules. Is HPLIP installed?

Not sure what to try next.
